The Iranian ambassador, too, in the meeting referred to the 20th Iranian Films Festival in Serbia, which will be opened on Friday, February 4th, and invited the Serbian Culture and Information Ministry officials to attend its opening ceremony and give lectures there.
At the cultural field we have broad commonalties, which provide a good cradle for broadening the sphere of cooperation,” said Hassanpour.
He said that the rich Persian literature has an abundant treasure of ethical, humanitarian and Gnostic themes, presented by such great literary personalities as Hafez, Rumi, Khayyam, Saadi, Firdowsi, and… whose fame has travelled far beyond the Iranian borders and their enthusiasts establish shared feelings and emotions with the personalities in their stories.
